“As a 20 year Board Member of our HOA, South Point, in San Pedro CA, I was intimately involved with many repair and upgrade projects. One involved a legally required balcony inspection SB-326 and subsequent refurbishment of 55 Owner Balconies including new railings. I had obtained several different bids from contractors due to the size and cost of the project. I did meet with the Owner, Alex Nicolov, of Apex GateWorks among the vendors. From day one, Alex displayed his knowledge and expertise but also gave sound recommendations on how to proceed. Our old railings were removed and the new railings were fabricated ahead of schedule and were ready to install once the balcony construction project was completed. Alex visited the site more than once and even delivered a partial set of railings for visibility to the community. The finished product was beautiful with the speckled black streaks on gray (one of the finish coats that Alex showed us). Ultimately, Alex worked in conjunction with our engineer and the two other companies responsible for our actual balcony deck demo and rebuild. California Decking and Waterproofing and Mota Builders had to demo 55 balcony decks and rebuild them, to code, from the studs. We had to replace full rim joists and sister a lot of 2 * 10's. We even needed new pan flashings installed for all 55 decks. All three companies worked well together - they rebuilt, to code, all 55 Owner balconies. This was a big project, time consuming, expensive, and it was done extremely well from the demo, rebuild, surface finish, and the final railing installation. Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety was on site multiple times and never had any issues with the quality of work being done and approved each phase of the project and the ultimate sign off. I would recommend Alex and his company Apex GateWorks to anyone seeking railing work for their personal or commercial needs.”
